After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Nets 127-92. Wizards' offense had its way with the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
